*WHAT IS THE CLASSIFICATION "LEGALLY BLIND"?

According to the American Foundation for the Blind, "Legal blindness is a level of vision loss that has been legally defined to determine eligibility for benefits. The clinical diagnosis refers to a central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with the best possible correction, and/or a visual field of 20 degrees or less. Often, people who are diagnosed with legal blindness still have some useable vision."

It is the organization's policy to use the information for internal purposes only. Security measures are maintained to keep this information private. The only exception is "Postings" which is discussed near the end of this document. It should be noted that the user's browser does automatically inform Christian Record about the type of computer and operating system being used.

Users can visit this website without revealing information about themselves. Christian Record's registration forms require users to supply contact information that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. plain text), physical address, and interests.

If users indicate that they do not wish to have their information used as a basis for further contact, Christian Record will respect those wishes.

Christian Record Services, Inc. cares about the safety and security of credit card transactions. Any sensitive information provided to the organization, such as credit card information, is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. (Look for the "s" following HTTP. It indicates a secure site.) Christian Record extends that protection by maintaining the information in encrypted form and restricting access to a limited number of qualified employees.
